I gotta say that life with 3 is all sorts of manic and crazy. I hope people can relate that going from 2 to 3 is like signing up for the circus full time. I am finally adjusting and feeling like myself again…. and now I am heading into my crazy, pull my hair out, busy season. All I can do right now is try to breathe and hang on for dear life….
That being said I just love watching Chloe and Tate play with Milo. The excitement on all their faces when they get home from school melts me like a cool stuff that melts (popsicles, butter, ice cream, you snow cool stuff…). Milo doesn’t really laugh when Anthony and I play with him so much, he just gives us a fake baby noise that faintly resembles a chuckle…. but when Chloe and Tate play with him he is all smiles and belly laughs like crazy. I feel very lucky to have 3 wild animals living under my roof… now if only I could find a zoo keeper for the clean-up part.
I have really been working hard on living my life from a space of love instead of fear lately. I hear sad stories all the time about people and their families and I automatically put myself in that horrible place of intense fear of the same thing happening to my family. It’s no good. I see my kids little faces and want only the best for them so all I can do is love & care for them. I hope I am being the mommy that they need…
Life goes on day in and day out and I don’t want these moments to escape me:).jpg)
Nicole Anderson - So needed to hear this today. Thanks for being such an inspiring sister! Love you
Jenni Call - Angie, I completely know how it is! I have a four yr old, a two year old, and a 3 mth old. Goodness life is a literal crazy happy mess most of the time. I try to dabble in photography mostly just for fun. You amaze me with your talent. Keep it goin’!
Ria Green - Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!
odd brown bird - Oh dear do I recognize my self in what you write? Yes I do!!
The pictures are incredible as well as the post processing. Do you make your own actions or can you reveal which you use?
Adore your work!
Kind regards,
Eva (from Sweden) =)
Amanda - You are soooo 100% right about the circus part. The day we brought our 3rd daughter home I had to keep repeating.. ‘I have 3 kids. I have 3 kids. I have THREE KIDS!?!’ LOL… It’s easier with 2. 2 kids. 2 arms. 2 ears. It all made sense. Now it’s definitely a race; all day, every day!
Dedra Lamb - I really enjoyed your pictures and post this morning. I’m also a momma of 3- 3 1/2, 2 next month, and 5 month old (2 boys and baby girl). I think we all have the same fears- that we are doing enough. How wonderful that you are able to document peoples’ lives at different stages for them to remember and cherish forever. I love your work! Thanks!
Valerie - You’re kids are darling! I hear ya on three. I feel like my head is spinning all the time. And at the end of the day I just maybe want to drop kick one of them (pretend I didn’t say that lol) It’s tough for sure, but I love it nonetheless, just like you
Beth - That is so the wish of every mommy…hoping to be the mommy they need! You are not alone in how you feel. I didn’t realize how much I could fear until I started having children!!
Jennifer - I LOVED reading this post because I too feel that three is CRAZY!! I try to cherish all the moments I but I am interrupted by fighting and disastrous messes. (LOL) I actually didn’t notice the big change until my third could walk and now talk (just turned two). We love them to death though huh?!!
Follow Your Art Photography - Beautifully written, beautifully shot…
Jaime - Oh how I wish I could disagree about having 3;) it’s tough. . . . . mine are 10, 9 and 6 years old, but it’s the pictures you took above that make you think to yourself.. . . three is worth every minute;)
I love your work! thanks for being a wonderful inspiration:) xo
Lindsay Rogerson - I LOVE these photos. As soon as I saw them, I was instantly reminded of the photographer Sally Mann…she’s famous for taking photos of her three children growing up, as well as some landscapes. But I was reminded especially of this photo! http://www.escapeintolife.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/mann-photo-001.jpg
Love your work so much! I come to your blog because once I leave your page, I’m incredibly inspired to conquer anything! Haha
